921 Base LED's That Will Last
Like many, I think it'd be nice to replace our incandescent 921 bulbs with bright, warm white, LED's.
Not knowing it was Cool White, I bought a "Gold Stars" 24-element LED with 921 base from Amazon. I wanted something that wouldn't melt the diffuser lens in our range hood. Cool White was the first problem. Hard to tell how meat is cooking on the stove with that color temperature. OK, my bad, but in a few dozen trips, longest two weeks, all but two of its elements have gone dark. Not marked as such, but its elements look like 3528 chips.
Meanwhile, I bought a pack of two GRV brand 5050 warm white, again from Amazon. One of the two was DOA. Right out of the Box! Never Lit! So I sent those back.
I don't want to be a techie, really don't want 100 of them shipped from China...
What can I order, say in a package of six, that's a durable, warm white, 921 base LED that'll last longer than a season?
